I have discovered at least one purpose for my blog - to tell how often my daughters get sick. It appears that Amanda is catching a cold, and Elena is showing signs as well. So, here it is recorded in my online journal so that I can look back and say, "Wow, do toddlers get sick a lot!"
The girls' second birthday was yesterday. Their party, which will be dog-themed and include several other toddlers, will be this coming weekend. For their actual birthday, we made them pancakes (their favorite breakfast) and gave them their presents from us: socks, a broom, highchair for a doll, and a Play-Doh pack. They like opening presents now and usually want to play with the contents right then. It was fun watching them enjoy their gifts.
We got a new dishwasher today, which mostly completes all of the recent household problems we've had. I still need to finish the front door and get the car's tail light fixed.
My work has been quite busy recently, and it looks to continue that way for several months. That's fine with me. It's a new project and I'm excited to be a part of it. Someday, I'll have some experiences to share. But for now, it just means that this blog and further PHP website stuff will slow down as I will have less free time to work on them.
